No new Windows 10 Insider builds expected this week

If you're a Windows Insider, expect the wait for a new PC build to continue into next week.

Windows Insiders went without a new PC build release last week, and it looks that wait will continue through this week as well. Windows Insider chief Dona Sarkar has now confirmed on Twitter that there won't be any new build releases this week due to a number of issues.

1/2 #WindowsInsiders: the installation bug we hit (GSOD + constant rollbacks) internally is too impactful for us to flight this week.

The last Windows 10 PC build to be released to Insiders was 16257, which came at the beginning of August. The latest Mobile Insider build was a little more recent, with build 15240 having arrived last week. Sarkar's wording presumably covers both PC and Mobile builds, so Insiders can probably relax and hope for another build to hit sometime next week.

I think it's quite normal as they get closer to release to be more careful at what gets flighted. With a deadline looming, developers rush their code in, and introduce new big problems. That is the phase they are in right now. In a week or two I expect the flight speed to increase as the problems being resolved are less risky. Near the end their may be a flight every day or every other day.
